Super Trooper will always have an extra special place in my heart. I have so many memories of dancing and twirling about the living room to this song with/for my dad.

beyond that one song I love loads. I probably have a different favourite for every mood but a top 5 would include;

Slipping Through My Fingers
Fernando
One of Us
Our Last Summer
The Name of the Game

but also Happy New Year but only if it is sung along to, using the lyrics that me and my sister thought were the real lyrics growing up.

I have somewhere a vinyl 45 of Ring, Ring - it's credited to the four named members of ABBA rather than the group name.

Knowing Me Knowing You, and Winner Takes it All are thd absolute best! Such aching, grown-up break up songs!

That’s me

There is a YouTube video of them performing this in Japan with Japanese dancers. It’s one of the most camp and wonderful things ever

Love Abba! Hooked ever since I was 7 yrs old and I saw the Knowing Me, Knowing You video on TOTP with the moody side profiles and snow! Just booked tickets for Abba Voyage for next year and am so excited!!

Yes slipping through my fingers makes me cry

Winederlust · 05/10/2025 19:45

Fernando, no question.

Amblealongside · 05/10/2025 19:52

Ooh my absolute favourite band ever! There's too many to choose from really....
Hole in Your Soul
Under Attack
Honey, Honey
Summer Night City
Angel Eyes
Nina, Pretty Ballerina

My favourite of Agnetha's solo songs is Visa I Åttonde Månanden - I used to sing it when pregnant 😍

fivetriangulartrees · 05/10/2025 19:59

I go through phases. As a child I loved Angel Eyes and Fernando. For the last few years I'd have probably said As Good As New and The Tiger, but today probably Head Over Heels and Mamma Mia.

Don't Shut Me Down is ace but it makes me cry. I can't listen to Slipping Through My Fingers, it's too much.
